Hi,<br />
<br />
As ozo recommended, you may use the command file which will tell you about the file type. For more info about the command file, please use man file.<br />
<br />
Also, you may use the command<br />
<br />
what filename<br />
<br />
This might also tell you more info about the file and its version, etc.<br />
<br />
for more info about what, please use man what<br />
<br />

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
